Module 3: Discussion Forum, marketing homework help
With modern technology, it’s increasingly challenging to get ‘face time’ with clients. Staton (2013) stated “Some 45% of prescribers restrict sales reps’ access these days, according to an annual report from ZS Associates. And that’s almost twice as large a share as the 23% who fenced off their practices in 2008” (p. 1). How would you, as a sales representative, deal with this increasing lack of face time? What recommendations do you have for gaining access to decision makers?
